Published by [Nashville: Ernest Tubb Publications], 1935, 1935
264pp, (5.25 x 8.25 inches), b&w photos. Only Good condition in tan wrappers (soft cover). The corners are a little rubbed, corners of front cover creased. Someone has erased (roughly) the publishing information at the bottom of the title page and pasted a small business sticker over it. The store's name and address stamped in red ink several times on front and back covers, as well as inside front and back and on several other pages. Really too bad, because the book is clean and tight otherwise. Biography of the Singing Brakeman.

Book First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Page edges are considerably age-browned, but still flexible and easily read. The "good" aqua blue dust jacket is missing bottom inch of spine and is also sun-browned to spine. Small, triple-folded Jimmie Rodgers discography brochure from the Jimmie Rodgers Fan Club, Jim Evans Pres., Lubbock, Texas, also laid in. The authoress has signed "Sincerely, Mrs. Jimmie Rodgers" to the half-title page. By stepping up to the microphone with his guitar, the "Blue Yodeler" -- also known as "The Singing Brakeman" (1897-1933, tuberculosis) -- launched not just modern Country music, but also what became Rock 'n Roll. Later reprints of this title (the first such reprint having been by Ernest Tubb, in Nashville) are relatively common. This 1935 San Antonio hardcover first edition is uncommon. In some years of searching, we have seen only one other copy, in a partial dust jacket and in somewhat damaged condition. Author-signed biography of The Singing Brakeman, the Father of Country Music, by his widow -- signed by her directly to the half-title page, in the original dust jacket. 264 pp., reduced from $12,000.
